Upgrading Drupal

I'm working with a new client who's set up Drupal themselves on a shared host on a commercial server. I was about to upgrade them to Drupal 6.13 and was backing up their files via FTP but kept having problems. When this has happened in the past, I've always used chmod to make the files readable/writeable (usually it's files in the sites/files directory). When I completed this, Drupal threw up '500' error messages and the error log has only this:

Premature end of script headers: /home/halldj/public_html/drupal/index.php

When I ran cron manually, it stated that drupal required updating. I backed up my sites, etc, updated drupal to 6.13.

Now I can not see custom styles in FCKeditor as I had before.

I've searched and changed files where needed. Cleared cache etc - nothing seems to work.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Hello all

I'm only working offline at the moment, and I'm about to do an upgrade from 6.10 to 6.13. By way of backups I thought I'd just copy the database (using PHPMyAdmin) rather than exporting it. That way I'll easily be able to go and look at what it used to be like if something does go wrong.

Hi, i am having problems with getting the drupal site to display pictures...using the module image, Magic image and lightbox2.

When i want to upload an image ...the message ...# mageMagick reported an error: includes/image.imagemagick.inc: Permission denied .
# Unable to create scaled Thumbnail image.
# The selected file /home/timtreic/www/wowa.ch could not be copied.

could pleas anyone help.

Hi ,
I've enabled update module on my drupal setup. I've customized/patched some of 3rd party modules according to my requirement.
Now I don't want to show those customized modules in the update status list or just want to disable update status for customized modules. How it can be done?

Thanks in advance

For example posibility to promote an article from some subject to a specyfic box on front page (e.g. I have 3 boxes and to each one I want to promote different new articles). Is this easy? Do I need to write my own code or just use some special module?
Or If I want to promote a random article? Or an article of type that single user likes? I imagine to have some divisions (menu that directs to each one) that contains different news types and want to have ability to veeery flexible managing of that content (e.g. basing on cookies to display different content to different readers).

What about dynamic menu? E.g. I'd like to have menu that may (besides the standard static names) show numbers of not read articles from last day/month/ever? So it should change dynamicly when a reader open an article... How to do this?

Forum with topics promotion? With five stars in each answer/reply? Is posible? To link a selected answer/topic to some other/non-forum page?

Another thing is to give special permission to CMS users: to enable some to just have ability to write and other to publish content i some pages. Or more specificly: to give them ability to publish just to specific divisions/pages which they care about?
